"Biden's Candid Conversation: Trump, Democracy, and SCOTUS Ethics"

President Joe Biden expressed concern about the current U.S. Supreme Court, describing it as extreme and questioning its commitment to upholding the rule of law. While he believes that the court would ultimately sustain the rule of law, he emphasized the need for ethics rules and basic rules of ethics for Supreme Court justices. Biden discussed the threats to democracy posed by Donald Trump's 2024 candidacy and warned against the desire of "MAGA Republicans" to weaken institutions and shift power towards the president. He also faulted his own Democratic Party for not effectively addressing the anxieties of Americans unsettled by economic and demographic change. Biden called on Americans to engage with those who have embraced extremism and emphasized the importance of voting in the upcoming presidential election.
